” Workplace gossip may have led to the brutal beating of a mother in front of her two-year-old son outside a McDonald’s restaurant in Salem City, New Jersey where the two women had worked together.

The assault was videotaped by a number of onlookers, but no one called 911 or stepped in to help.

“I think it’s messed up no one came to my rescue,” said 27-year-old Catherine Ferreira, who has a broken nose, two black eyes and a concussion. Ferreria admits she was talking about her attacker’s dating life and that’s what provoked the assault.

One of the onlookers posted a 54-second long video of the beating online. It shows a woman in a McDonald’s uniform and Ferreria briefly exchanging words.”

However, judging from the reaction of the resale ticket market in the past 24 hours, it could turn out to be one of the least expensive.

Derrick Moore, who works for Decatur Utilities in Decatur, Ala., told WAFF-TV in Huntsville that crews in Seaside Heights, N.J. turned him and his crewmates away, saying they couldn’t do any work there because they’re not union employees.”

” The website NJ.com reports that one parent, Richard Goldberg of Marlboro, was appalled when he asked his 9-year-old twin sons about the exam and was told about the question, which required an essay. One of the boys wrote about breaking a ceiling fan and not telling his dad (presumably until now). The other wrote about the time Goldberg took them out of school on false pretenses for a day of skiing!

“All of a sudden,” Goldberg told reporters, “you have in a sense Big Brother checking out the secrets of families.” He added that the question has the potential to open up all manner of Pandora’s boxes. He asked, as a hypothetical, what action administrators might feel impelled to take it the secret divulged had to do with a criminal act. “
